What is the plugin that pulls "extracts" of article text?

I can’t remember.

I want a dynamic way to load meta description info when there’s not an excerpt available. A plugin that pulls article text to some character limit would be a good next bet.

rvm_substr or rss_auto_excerpt. The latter is a many options beast as far as I remember.


In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Ah yes, rvm_substr was what I was thinking of (and I like the fact ruud is still around). In this case, though, I don’t really need anything but straight text, so smd_if might be the ticket too, maybe. I’ll have to look.

Thanks Uli!

You could also use rah_function and invoke the PHP substr function.
